Rob Portman

Ohio Senator Rob Portman said the vote of the Electoral College makes it clear Joe Biden is President-elect. “I think we need to respect this process the Founding Fathers established, and we must respect the will of the voters,” he said in a statement. “As I’ve said previously, the Trump campaign had every right to pursue recounts and legal challenges. That has now happened over the past six weeks, and although there were instances of fraud and irregularities, it has not been shown to be widespread enough to change the result of the election. Although I supported President Trump, the Electoral College vote today makes clear that Joe Biden is now President-Elect.’
